A Rs130.42 Cr balance-work contract is open on the western spur of the Rampur-Rudrapur section, the link that joins NH-24 to NH-87 while bypassing Rampur town in Uttar Pradesh, and NHAI is taking bids until 8 September 2026.
What is left to build
This is a balance-work package: NHAI is re-tendering the unfinished portion of the western side spur at the risk and cost of the earlier contractor. The corridor lets through traffic between NH-24 and NH-87 skip Rampur town entirely. The notice floats the work on EPC mode while listing the form of contract as item rate, so read the NIT carefully before pricing. Bidding opened on 20 July 2026 and the window runs a full seven weeks, which leaves time for a proper site walk of what stands half done.
Who the job fits
Balance works reward contractors who have closed out other people’s leftovers before. Expect partial earthwork, structures at mixed stages and utilities already shifted, so careful inspection beats optimistic pricing here. At Rs130.42 Cr with a Rs1.30 Cr earnest money and Rs20,000 tender fee, the package sits well with mid-size highway firms and road contractors already mobilised in western Uttar Pradesh. The two-cover format with 120-day bid validity is standard NHAI practice.
Iron for the corridor
Spur completion is familiar road-plant territory. Count on excavators for the remaining earthwork and structure approaches, motor graders to true up the formation, and compactors working embankment and pavement layers. Owners weighing a purchase against this timeline can compare equipment finance options before the bid goes in.
